Once in a while  there seems to surface an urge to “modify” the wording of our Three Objects. So, in order to determine if such a alteration makes any sense, let’s go over them:

These are the  objects as officially adopted by the TS Adyar in 1896:

1. To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.

2. To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.

3. To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.
